Oversized, colorblock cardigan with drop shoulders and V-neck. By Missoni.

From Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 1991:
“A lively mix of color and texture combine with an offbeat sense of patterning that is unmistakably Missoni. Add to that a feeling for relaxed comfort, and you get modern knits with ageless appeal.”

This cardigan coordinates with #04 Mesh-Stitch Top, shown in the inset portion of VK’s photo.
